Apteros Trading Reviews

“I’ve done and seen a lot of things in the trading world, but I’ve never been taught how to truly generate trades for myself. I think this is the most important thing I can offer to anyone else outside of the Apteros Community.

Merritt has been the only mentor I’ve ever had who showed me how to produce trade ideas that work day-after-day. He holds nothing back from you… no secret sauce… no magic indicator… If you are willing to do the real work, there is no limit to what you can accomplish here.

I could say so much more, but the simple and undeniable fact is that Merritt taught me to trade consistently for myself. I think that’s the greatest praise I can offer.”

“Trading is hard. It will break you down, build you up, and then break you down again. It forces you to be in tune with the core values and beliefs you hold, and demands diligence. Learning to trade now is more complex then ever. There is an abundance of fake, bad, great, and brilliant information out there and navigating the sea of trading education is no easy task. NADRO is more than just a trading system or methodology but it is a toolkit built on principles as old as markets themselves. This course will teach you a language of the markets and this community will teach you what being a professional in the marketplace looks like. If you have stumbled on to this as a result of your trading frustrations and are looking to have a well made robust lens to view markets under, as well as a community that speaks the same language and develops as a team, look no further.”

“Just a short note to thank you for being such a fantastic mentor during our time together in the Advance Mentoring Program. As a student of the NADRO course, I feel strongly that supplementing the it with the Advanced Mentoring program solidified and enhanced my understanding of the NADRO trading methodology. I can now honestly say, without any hesitation whatsoever, that I am finally a consistently profitable trader. Kudos to you!”

“The trading community here is dynamic, professional, and focused. Talking through trade ideas in real time, with other seasoned traders who are using the same methodology, has been invaluable to my trading. We’re able to discuss both market generated information as it’s happening, as well as what goes into our decisions from a mental framework perspective. It’s very helpful to talk through sequences, review trades, share information and hold each other accountable to our plans and processes. I’ve spent time learning from other traders who use Market Profile and Volume Profile, yet in my experience, Merritt was the first trader who really helped me understand how to trade value profitably. His training covers not just an effective methodology, but also the in’s and out’s of developing into a consistently profitable trader. Merritt Black is an exceptionally talented and patient mentor. From a practical standpoint, the levels derived in the morning prep are useful and tradeable. Multiple markets are discussed, and it’s always interesting to keep an eye on different instruments beyond what I currently trade.”

“I realized very quickly after beginning the NADRO course that I had found something special. The course will give anyone, of any experience level, everything they need to become a consistently profitable trader. Trading is the hardest thing many of us have ever done. There are no guarantees and many people who are bright, talented, and hard working fail. If you want to be successful you need to understand the obstacles in your way, you need a coach, you need peers, and you need to be a coach to others. The course and the community at Apteros Trading offer all of that and is unlike anything I have ever been a part of.”

“Spent a few years learning NADRO. And before that, just MP before NADRO even began its evolution. It’s not overly complex but it is comprehensive–it checks off every factor that a trading system has to account for while still leaving enough room for you’re own personal style. As far as frameworks go, it is dynamic, yet highly structured and gives a proper view of just where the market stands at this moment in time. The student community is solid, culled of any solicitors and those grossly negative, unwilling to learn, grow and foster a culture of success. At one point it had hundreds and perhaps suffered because of this, but as it’s shrunk, inversely has the level of professionalism grown. M is a tricky devil. One part drill Sargent, another a wry joker juggling a fund, students, and whatever else he seems to have in his sights that day. Fun to talk to knows his system, but perhaps more importantly IF you put in the effort, he responds in kind. I’ve gained a lot of insight just about my own life through my experience with him as he has helped direct me towards a better understanding of the NADRO system, and that isn’t to say it’s been easy. Mentoring isn’t about making you a millionaire overnight and often it’s the toughest parts you don’t want to hear, but need to that M seems to have a knack for. Recaps etc. Solid. Levels and commentary about the need for a deeper pullback, a strong potential momentum situation, or even better a “nothing to do, not interested” day could easily be used without any NADRO knowledge. Personally, I use it as a tool to compare my own analysis against, or as an occasional crutch when I can’t put my finger on it. Nothing is perfect, but in this game, this is as good as it gets.”

“In my 15 years of capital markets related experience, I’ve never come across a more thorough and robust framework for analyzing markets from a technical perspective. Merritt has developed a fantastic program and as an advanced group mentoring student, I can honestly say I’m better prepared than ever to tackle my trading goals. Merritt truly loves what he does and it shows in the quality of his work; I strongly suggest anyone serious about trading like a true professional to get involved immediately.”

“I mentored with Merritt about two years ago. The experience has been very rewarding for me. Merritt is a gifted teacher, with a true passion for his craft and a real connection to his students. He teaches brilliantly whether it’s a planned talk or on the fly, open to any question, analysis of whatever session or market. He just dives in and the information flows. His depth of knowledge and experience is clear, but he keeps on evolving and upping his game and sharing this with us. Truly leading by example. The Apteros community is truly one of a kind…diverse, supportive, clever, and good-humored quality people that all love ( well, most of the time) trading! I think of Merritt as a master Wayfinder of the trading environment and journey. He is very successfully navigating through this complex world and is sharing his maps! He provides expert, detailed guidance on becoming a successful trader starting from the ground up–which is what I needed–or taking an advanced trader to the next level . I’ve seen some very impressive trading from so many community members, over these two years. Using the elegant NADRO method for trading futures works well for me. I still have a lot to improve and learn to optimize my trading, but I am very happy with my progress so far!”

“I joined Merritt Black and the Apteros Community two years ago and I can truly say it is one of the best decisions I have ever made. I can say that because I spent the previous five years with every (insert guru) being made to believe that some fictitious indicator would lead me to some other fictitious holy grail. I honestly didn’t know any better. So even though I can say I’ve traded stocks, options, and futures, my actual trading journey didn’t begin until I joined this community under the leadership of Merritt. Even though I am still a developing trader, I know that I am on the right path. I also understand that it doesn’t guarantee me anything, I accept that. But I do know that everything I need to become a professional trader is right here with Merritt and the Apteros Community. A professional trader… wow… to even think that I can become that sends chills. People have no idea how much I crave to even be considered that… There was a time where I cared more about the lifestyle presented to me by gurus that had no idea what it actually meant to be considered a professional trader. They never talked about the tears, the frustrations, the overall mental framework you have to build just to not drive yourself crazy with a trade. All I ever got was signals, hindsight bragging, and a top secret triple alert spinning indicator that you need to spend 5k on before next month’s secret indicator comes out. Merritt and this community is nothing like that.

Merritt is one of the best teachers I’ve ever come across. Learning under him has been like trying to earn a master’s degree in trading. I appreciate his patience with us and his dedication to us as I understand that teaching us is not something he has to do. He does not have to teach us anything. But he wants to, and I thank him for that. I’ll be honest, most people just want to sell the dream of trading. Merritt actually wants you to learn how to trade. I take it as a privilege to learn under him and will never take his teachings for granted. I’m not sure where I would be in my trading journey if I never came across Merritt. I’m just glad that I did.”

“While it’s true that Merritt’s NADRO is a methodology for trading, it goes beyond that, way beyond. It actually provides a way of understanding the market on a deeper level; what is the market genuinely trying to accomplish. What’s so great is that you’ll be able to determine the current value of the market as it changes throughout the day, so you can buy at value lows and sell at value highs. You’ll gain confidence knowing where to enter a trade, when to get out, and if you should walk away; all the while keeping the risk: reward ratio in your favor. What was amazing in my trading journey with being a student of Merritt’s is that I no longer try analyzing or being swayed by flashy headline stories, be worried of a “fake out”, or be disgruntled because an ‘algo’ ran my stop. I’m a much more patient, and disciplined futures trader now. I owe Merritt a special thanks. Thank you! If you’re looking for a quick, get-rich method, this isn’t it. However, if you’re a diligent student and put in the hard work like other students here do, you’ll gain insight and understanding that you never thought was possible. In my opinion, you couldn’t ask for anything more from a futures course.”

“I have been trading multiple strategies and products since 1995. I met Merritt 2 years ago and he has completely changed my outlook and methodology for day trading futures. I have learned more from Merritt than anybody else about how markets work. He is a fantastic teacher and his NADRO methodology has edge. I spent a long time trying to find someone like Merritt and am grateful every day that I did. I have taken pleasure in recommending him to many trader colleagues. If you don’t have a strategy that works for you or are new to trading then don’t waste any more time or money on useless indicators or supposed easy money strategies, join the Apteros community and sign up for a course, you absolutely won’t regret it.”

“It is a rare combination to find someone who is both a great trader and a greater teacher. Merritt is both. Regularly I wake up in awe of what I’ve learned from him in such a short time. If you are serious about taking your trading to the next level I can’t think of a better person to learn from. He will not only inspire and teach you to trade well but also improve who you are as a person.”

“Initially, I didn’t pay attention to real-time calls in the community bcz it looked too complicated with those multiple abbreviations but I couldn’t ignore that prep levels have been working consistently well. Thanks March 2020 that made me look at it closer and sign up for mentoring with Merritt. He’s a very patient, attentive teacher and advanced mentoring turned out to be not only about trading but extending much further to my whole life and deeper into psychology where I didn’t get to even after few years in yoga school where all teachers have degrees in psychology. A lot of eye-opening discoveries here, much more than I could ever expect”

“I met Merritt and joined his daily market preps in the beginning of this year. Then, I started to study some of the tools he recommended, followed his webnars until I became a student of his NADRO methodology and joined Apteros Community. The NADRO methodology is a framework that shows you a deeper understand of markets and it has been a real changer for my trading journey! Merritt is a great teacher and his clarity when explaining all topics is unique! In addition, the Apteros community is the best place I have ever seen to learn, improve and connect with in the markets. It impressed on me how I have improved after joining this community, not only as a trader, but as a person, and I can see it reflecting in many aspects of my life. I am so grateful for all the knowledge Merritt has shared with me and all the Apteros Community! Thank you, thank you, and thank you!”

“Merritt has added lot of value in helping me shape the narrative of my trading journey. I used to be too absorbed in my charts trying to find an edge.

By following in the footprints of Merritt’s methodology, it has helped me develop a true edge in the markets. If you diverge in your trading plan, Merritt is always there to revert you to this MEAN methodology. Accept this proven methodology, it has helped me understand the rhythm of the markets and now my orders flow.”
